CornishFlyer Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi guys, Please find below a link to my website which is in a work in progress. Currently only the Home & JOIN NOW pages are fully functioning but opinions appreciated, good or bad! Thanks http://southwestdesign.org.uk/VIABLE/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGallery Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hey i'll just point out the major issues i found, i didn't look at your code. Anyway, there is a white area on the right of your home page. That's how it's displayed in the latest chrome. You can click on the image to see the gap, since the background of the post is also white and it's not visible. I can only see your submit buttons and your input fields in the JOIN NOW page (the search area and the form in the bottom which is a sign up form i assume). Edit: Just saw you are using table for your layout. You should convert it to a div based layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornishFlyer Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 The JOIN NOW page has been fixed and I'm looking at the Chrome issue - don't have it on any of the browsers I test on. How do I go about converting it to a DIV and what are the benefits? Any other comments from people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherri8 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The JOIN NOW page has been fixed and I'm looking at the Chrome issue - don't have it on any of the browsers I test on. How do I go about converting it to a DIV and what are the benefits? Any other comments from people? Site is good so far but I agree with TheGallery about layout.In the tutorials they used table as an example to make site layout but they said not to use table for website layout.I was making website layout with table few days ago and it was too troublesome for me so I decided to use div instead.It is more neater to use div as a layout and easier to design.It is so easy to just change layout on css spreadsheet.I did mines to something like this div.main, div.content,div.footer ,div.header and etc .There are many reasons why it is better. This quote is from link below: "Note: Even though it is possible to create nice layouts with HTML tables, tables were designed for presenting tabular data - NOT as a layout tool!

CornishFlyer Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 The "new" site is below; I need some real advice here, looking at all the source code, have I built my site correctly, is this the correct way to make sites? http://southwestdesi...IABLE/index.php I want to optimise it, but using external style sheets just messes up the code for some reason, this appear and dissapear, but having it in the same file works just fine...

thescientist Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 how are you including the external stylesheet? have you followed the correct way of including it?http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_howto.asp If you want to fix a lot of the issues, then you should start by validating your site with the W3C validator. Some glaring errors that it would report are:* no DTD (doctype). Use HTML4.01 Strict or H5 DTD's* id's being used on the page more than once (that's what classes are for)* mismatched closing/opening tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
